Love the pic, and the knife, it's what's in my pocket today.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
As a benchmade and spyderco fan I agree. The bugout is a great design. I can appreciate a nice LW design with good edge length. See my knife for today:kennethsime wrote: ↑Wed Jul 05, 2023 11:13 pm
I mostly post here, but sometimes post to Reddit and Facebook as well. I posted a similar photo the other day with a Bugout the Dragonfly, and got so much hate! It's funny to me how easy it is to for Spyderco fans to hate on another American-made knife with high-end PM Steels and ergonomic designs. Don't get me wrong, I practically bleed Spyderco - but I bet I get a lot more internet points posting this pair than I did the other day, and I think that's just plain silly.
Apart from the internet points, I don't get what folks hate about the Bugout. It's a very useful size, very useful shape, and very useful weight. I could understand liking other knives better, but I really don't see anything to hate about it.

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I request a moment of silence for the knife no longer in my pocket.
Amen.
First time I have lost a knife from a Velcro-flapped back pocket. My blacked out SE H1 Pac Salt is at the bottom of a reservoir in West Virginia. An added surprise expense to an otherwise excellent trip! I hope whoever finds it really needed it and appreciates it.
Now then, time to recognize the opportunity before me. Should I replace it with another Pac Salt or a Siren

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
Assuming you have never owned a Siren, get that. New is good. Of course, there are a few people here waiting for some H1/H2 comparisons. So in the time honored tradition of this forum, get both!
Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??
I’m back in Texas for the next month. Which means this will be in my pocket the entire time. What an excellent design.

I don’t know if this was two rocks placed together intentionally or if it was just one spectacular rock, I didn’t care to check I just appreciated that it looked like a mushroom.

15V and K390 again today.
Because desolate places allow us to breathe. And most people don't even know they're out of breath.
